How do you approach your craft? You might read that sentence and think that this doesn’t apply to me. But just give me a second to elaborate. When I say Craft, I do not necessarily mean art or the act of creating something specifically. Craft can include art and creation, but it doesn’t necessarily have to. When I think about Craft, I think about anything that you do with intention. An act… Read More

Over the next several posts here I want to talk a little about how I became involved in photography. I’ll talk a little about what first got me into photography. Then I will share about the journey I took to get from my first memories of photography through where I am presently. My discussion will take the form of a few different tracts. I’ll talk about my personal experiences. What interactions in… Read More

Where do you find inspiration and motivation to create art? I am of two minds about artistic creation and inspiration and motivation. I have really come to believe that if you want to be someone who creates art on a regular basis, especially if you aspire to be a professional, you have to show up on a daily basis and do the work. You have to do the work of creating art…. Read More

Photography tools are ever evolving. Change happens more rapidly now than ever before. The choices you make in the tools you use will shape the photography you create. In my last blog post I talked about some of the first tools I ever used to create photography. In this post I will talk more about the gear I have used to develop my photography after I began to fall in love with… Read More

I don’t often recall a lot from my childhood, but one thing I do remember distinctly for some reason is having a camera. I had a camera that used the 110 format film. For those who don’t remember, or weren’t born yet, the style of camera that at least I had was basically a small brick. Especially when compared to what we have available to us now. The camera itself was a… Read More

Doing things that scare us is not easy. But, I would argue that it is essential for leading a life you will look back fondly on. Even if you don’t succeed at these things, you will have tested yourself. You will have gone on a journey. And you will have answered questions about yourself. You won’t look back on your life questioning yourself. You lived your life fully. For me doing things… Read More

There are so many things to love about photography, but what I think it really comes down to for me is time. Time is always moving. We never get a second back. No replays or do overs. We can’t press pause and stop to enjoy this one thing longer than the time we have in that moment.

In 2021 I did something I had never done before. I took on a challenge in my photography that would hopefully push me out of my comfort zone. I started a the year off with a 30 day photography challenge. During that time I took at least one, usually way more than one, photograph every day. And then I shared one photo taken that day here on my blog. Then after one… Read More

My photography typically focuses on nature, wildlife, and animals. On specific occasions like sports events I photograph people. Probably the least often subject I photograph would be any type of cityscapes. I love seeing beautiful photography of cities. Skylines of cities can be majestic. Photography of life unfolding in the concrete jungle can be inspiring. For me cities simply don’t inspire me to get my camera out, most of the time. I… Read More

I love zoos. We have had going to zoos as a tradition for us for a long time. I hadn’t been to a zoo in a while until recently. But, zoos were instrumental in shaping my love for animals and in developing and shaping my love and skills in photography. There can be some controversy surrounding zoos and the lives animals have there. They can be very important things that we should… Read More
